Deep Ecology philosophy argues that the natural world is a subtle balance of complex interrelationships in which the existence of organisms is dependent on the existence of others within the ecosystem. We as humans are part of this interdependency. Rosa's fascination with the natural worlds intricate systems begun an exploration into process and materiality using aged, pattern paper given to her by her mother. These processes and materials echo the meanings Rosa wishes to convey: the fragility of nature; the importance of conservation through repurposing of materials; and the multiplicity of connections between nature and the human spirit.
